WHAT IF movement was about so much more than simply achieving your fitness goals or looking good in your underwear?
WHAT IF movement was one of the MOST important nutrients for your brain and nervous system?
.
It’s true. ✅
.
A fascinating study of the connection between muscle strength (leg strength in particular) and various cognitive benefits was recently published in the Frontiers of Neuroscience. This study showed a direct link between neurological health and dependence upon signals from the muscles of the extremities, especially the larger leg muscles.
.
It is through proper, full-range motion under load that the largest impacts were made on the Neural Stem Cells (NSC). These are the undifferentiated stem cells of the brain that can develop into both neurons and other brain cells. Research has shown that the population of these cells can decline by up to 70% 😨 in animals that were restricted from using their hind legs for up to 28 days.
.
When we take a moment to apply this concept and take a sobering look at the state of our physical and cognitive health in this country, it becomes obvious...
.
Our reduction of normal MOVEMENT - something so innate and biological to us - is leading to a massive INCREASE in many of the neurodegenerative conditions that plague our society.
.
This reality becomes the foundation for all the work we do through neurologically based chiropractic care.
.
Our goal is to detect and correct areas of your spine that have lost their proper MOTION called subluxations - therefore optimizing the FUNCTION of the nervous system your spine protects. 💯
.
Getting checked and adjusted by your local, neurologically based chiropractor can not ONLY enhance the communication between your brain and your body, but also allow you to move MORE with less discomfort and increased confidence.

Yours in health,

Last one I swear.
I'm just so in love with the landscape and the history of how it was formed.
Ice age glacial dams, floods, and ancient volcanic eruptions.

Happy Monday y’all! Finished up a fun little project today that I’m excited to share with you soon. I can’t believe how fast this summer has gone by. We only have two more weeks left at the @thursdaymarket so be sure to stop by and try a pop before it’s too late! We will have these yummy Huck Pie Ice Pops available one last time and for our last week (the 23rd) we will have a few surprises! If you don’t have plans for the weekend, be sure to check out the @silvermountain Brewsfest up in Kellogg this Saturday from 1-6 for some tasty beer, cider, live music and of course, ice pops! #happymonday#mondayvibes#eaticepops

Now that’s what we call a summer cocktail!

Stop by and see what we’re mixing up🍸🍹

People are often SHOCKED to hear we see infants in our practice - but the reason isn’t really SHOCKING at all! 👶🏼
.
We know birth can be extremely tough on mom physically, but often don’t realize how traumatic in can be on baby as well. .
Newborns, just like adults, have a spine that protects their central nervous system, but because it’s brand new, that spine is especially sensitive. The intense physical twisting and pulling of being born can often result in significant issues in a baby’s neck and spine called vertebral subluxations.
.
Subluxations occur when irritation in or around the spine acts like chemical static on the nerves that carry information around our body. Research has shown this to disrupt the communication between our brain, muscles, organs and cells - and can result in many different issues.
.
With babies growing and developing so rapidly, it is CRUCIAL that their nervous system is functioning and communicating without interference - THAT is why we check them! .
Safe, specific, and very light fingertip pressure is all it takes to adjust a newborn. Doing so clears out the interference from their body and allows them to express life at 100% - the way they were DESIGNED to!
.
While many times the signs can be subtle, like baby preferring to feed on one side more than the other, often times they can be more obvious - like chronic ear infections, colic, constipation, or indigestion.
.
If you want your little one checked for subluxation, or know of one struggling, we are here to help and happy to answer any questions you may have!

There is a lot of smoke in the air lately, but that shouldn’t stop you from playing mini golf with your friends and family. Luckily @tripleplayidaho has an outdoor course AND an indoor course 😎
Visit us today for lunch at the Garden Fresh Grill and some indoor mini golf⛳️

Yesterday morning vs this morning. Limit your time outside today peeps and please don't expose your kids or pets to this any more than necessary. If this is what the rest of summer is going to be like, bring on Autumn!

Hidden away in the Kaniksu National Forest, the waterfalls here are far and few between. .
.
.
This was my first off grid waterfall hunt in North Idaho.. it took a few hours of navigating cliffside logging roads, where I probably should of been driving a vehicle with more clearance.. no trail map available, just a rickety old sign that said “⬆️Falls” ... .
.
.
The landscape here is so different than the North Cascades, Umpqua, and Glacier.. it really is in a category of its own. My favorite part is the jade green water, with its crazy clarity, how you can see the smooth river rock below..something I’ve never seen at all the waterfalls I’ve been to..
.
.
.
Waterfall hunting is definitely a spring activity, when the runoff makes them look most impressive.. that’s why I take off to Oregon early in the year, when the crowds are low and water is high. The problem with waterfall hunting in N. Idaho, is that your window of opportunity is pretty small. I attempted to find waterfalls in May/June, only to be met by heavy snow on the logging roads. I wasn’t about to snowshoe 10miles in, when I have no idea what Im looking for.. so now I’m “canvassing” the area to narrow down which spots will be worth the journey next spring. I recently tried to discover two undocumented waterfalls northwest of Sandpoint, only to find out they are just a trickle in late summer.. .
.
.
.
So when that tiny window of opportunity opens next year, I’ll be there.. .

Friends are amazing and Bowl and Pitcher is beautiful! Can't believe I haven't hiked out here since I was a kid!
I met my friend Tony on a flight to San Diego. Yeah, the one just a month ago. He was the guy that once I sat down and put my ear bud in (with all intention of ignoring him and the person to my right for the remainder of the flight) asked about my tattoo and then my kids and my life and you get the idea. We were on the next flight with a 4 hour layover in Boise so, we decided to grab lunch and a beer. Which took like one of those four hours to enjoy and the Boise airport isn't that entertaining. So, we grabbed another beer and I hear this faint sound of something over the intercom resembling my name. Tony heard the same thing resembling his name and ran to the gate. Guess what we both forgot? Mountain time. We almost missed our flight to San Diego but we gained a pretty awesome memory and friendship! Thanks for the hike today, Tony! Excited for more adventures! #newfriend#getoutside#pnw#inw#hiking#adventure#shorthairlove
